Richard qualified as a solicitor in 1975, before joining Freeth Cartwright & Sketchley where he became a Partner in 1980. He went on to form Nelsons in 1983, which, as Senior Partner, he helped build up to become one of the largest 50 firms in the country. Then in 2003, he left Nelsons to establish Richard Nelson LLP. He has a lot of hands-on business experience, not only by establishing his own successful firms but also by holding a number of non-executive directorships. Richard has built up the firm’s national reputation for regulatory investigations, fraud defence and professional disciplinary work by dealing with some of the largest cases presented in Court during his career. The Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners have ranked Richard and described him as ‘inspirational’ and ‘one of the best fraud lawyers with a truly national profile’.
